I have had a tibial plateau fracture with a rather 'iffy' explanation. It was a non-union for over a year, and they finally ordered one of those electric coils...supposedly it worked...I am not sure how exactly they know that as the fracture was diagnosed on MRI, and they never repeated it. (First they told me it was paid for...then they told me it wasn't...then I told the company that brought it, to take it back if it wasn't going to be paid for...it was a fortune...but then they worked it out, and it was paid for.) I think they work really well on healthy people, but I wonder if they work as well on PNers.

It still kind of hurts there, but my gait is quite off, and I am pretty reliant on orthotics, and it may be time for new ones. I have a pretty nasty case of pronation. I have been tripping and twisting my ankle a lot lately, which means something is off.

I am one of those PNers who doesn't feel their feet well, except when standing for a while and then they feel broken...like broken bones.

I have spinal problems which can not be addressed surgically, so, I don't have much choice other than some exterior support....the braces can be quite hot in the summer which is a big draw back, not to mention, not attractive, but, if it helps you do what you gotta do.

I can't take fosamax--gastroparesis...I have no option other than HRT.
